Good and happy for them!

Please also keep trying to ref well, because to us in the basketball sub, that’s really important and transcends genders. It isn’t about male or female or trans or queer. Only identity that matters is what team you rep and we all just want the game well reffed.

great story, some incredible experiences

• they transferred from JuCo and walked onto a D1 basketball team (CSU Northridge) and ended up getting a full athletic scholarship
• “When they graduated, their father was refereeing high school basketball games in east L.A. for about 50 bucks a game, and suggested they give it a try. Flores remembers telling him, “Hell no, I’m not wearing that zebra stripe.” But they didn’t want to go back to waiting tables at the Cheesecake Factory, which they’d done between college seasons. Their first assignments, in the early aughts, were high school games in San Gabriel.”
• that same summer, they get invited to join a referee bootcamp: “We would come in and then every referee would assess every other referee, and we would all decide collectively who would move on and who would literally get voted off the island,” Flores says. “It was like Survivor with referees.”
• Billy Kennedy, the veteran NBA ref, is at the camp and notices Flores, who then goes onto work NCAA, WNBA, and G League games.
• by 2020 they ref the championship games for all 3 leagues, and eventually Monty McCutchen hires them to his NBA ref roster.

Don’t care, didn’t ask, just learn what a fucking moving screen is.

If them identifies as a good/ref then idk

That’s what’s up, good for them

They have some pretty fantastic hair NGL.

“Blind motherfucker” is a gender neutral term

Nobody cares, can he/she ref better than Scott Foster?
